when I am weak

Whenever you start something big for God you can expect opposition. I am no exception. This past weekend has been hard. Satan is attacking me with my family. My mom & dad have never had a great relationship. Never had a relationship I longed to emulate. To still keep private things private, I'll just say that my parents have come to a breaking point. And I am trying with all my energy to not get caught in the rubble. But the love and support of my new family (my friends) has helped me through it. I have an army of saints praying for me. And for my family. It's not over. Big problems are never simply solved. But I am okay. I will be. I'm not letting satan win this battle. For my God is so much greater than him. Thank you to the friends who have been there. Thank you to those that have prayed for me. (Please continue. For the battle has just begun.) Thank you to those that will be there. I know I can lean on you when I do not have the strength to stand.

I'm not going to ask God to instantly heal everything. To fix it all. For what will I learn in that? How will I grow? But I will cling to His promise that "His power is made perfect in my weakness."

8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. [NIV]
